I went to Dublin for a conference but pencilled in half a day just for me and my camera. The last time I was in Dublin was over ten years ago, when my Mum and I decided to do a day trip, a little ambitious from Manchester!

The first night we stumbled into a fabulous little pub for the obligatory pint of Guinness. There I discovered my love for soda bread, which is not ideal when you're gluten intolerant!

I loved the warmth of the locals, the bustle of the tourists and the singers in every pub. There is literally nothing I don't like about Dublin. Made me really want to go and explore the rest of Ireland. And eat more soda bread. Px
